Grubtown Tales: Stinking Rich and Just Plain Stinky
by
Philip Ardagh
Illustrator: Jim Paillot
Welcome to Grubtown, where the eccentric residents are desperately trying to banish local stinker, Manual Org! With gloopy, greasy locks and green shoots growing from his ears, Manual’s odorous stench is angering the people of Grubtown. It falls to official duck-gatherer Jilly Cheater to break the news to Manual.
However, when Jilly and Mango Claptrap discover a gargantuan diamond, they begin to piece together the truth about Manual Org and his filthy habits. The first book in a series, this madcap story combines outlandish characters and a witty narrative with comical illustrations. A valuable lesson about overcoming fear and the acceptance of others cleverly weaves through this fantastically filthy tale!
